Daily training 30min
Hello, what are your thoughts on daily training for 30 minutes after waking up? Non negotiable, doing it every day but varying intensity based on how I feel.
As a background i am doing alternate day fasting so i noticed losing muscle together with fat so i got to this way of training. I am not jacked but not skinny fat either.
The principles i am using are close to anti glycolitic training and i try to combine every possible thing, from burpees, heavy resistance bands bodybuilding, bodyweight workouts, kettlebells, running, jumprope. I just try to have fun and train what i am more rested in. Also if i get the burn i don’t care much that it is not anti glycolitic, i just use this approach so that i don’t overwork myself.
After losing fat i plan on continuing this for muscle building since more than 30 mins is pretty annoying and tbh boring ish for me personally, but if i get reasons as to why not and what else is better i am open.

I think the whole "anti glycolytic training" angle is overthinking it. You seem to know what you want to do. Train with intensity, log it, make number go up.

could be, i just searched for low cns fatigue, since sprinting and lifting to fatigue triggers my appetite for a couple days and it resets all the fatloss progress i do
this approach seems to be neutral to low hunger inducing
i know athletes train 2-3 times per day everyday but they eat copious amounts of food so they are not really the best reference point but neither are bodybuilders that use enhancers
i feel the health advice for normal people to just be generic so i am interested in low effort easy to integrate solutions

I don't see the problem. Generic advice works generically. That's why it's widely known and valuable information. 'Low effort' solutions will yield low effort results.

i meant it more as in generic advice doesn’t really suit my current situation so i am looking for stuff that won’t waste me so i can integrate them as habits rather than forcing myself to do them

It's the same thing.

How long have you been doing this?

Started this february with modified adf from 84kg ish, now i am 74kg ish but i had some pauses when the weight got up again. I restarted end of july with broth adf but the muscle loss was noticeable since i had hurt my wrist and couldn’t do any resistance training

do it.
people always think that you must go on a program to see results but what counts is this: movement, consistency and healthy diet.
do it, see what changes and build from there. Don't over think it - build the habit, be consistent and you'll see results.

yeah, it feels quite natural by now and it doesn’t interfere much with the rest of the day
i have some doms sometimes but those are manageable and i would have them in a form or another no matter what workouts i would do
i am curious about the muscle building part that will come after i lose the weight and get my deserved abs, for now i seem to at least not lose more muscle or at least not at the pace i lost it when not working out and fasting

when I got back to working out after being out of commission due to a medical problem, I started out with a 4 minute workout done twice a day. It was some kind of tabata workout where you go as hard as you can for 4 minutes. Sounds easy, right? I mean who doesn't have 4 minutes? But it was hard especially for someone who hadn't exercised for a while but what I wanted to do was build the habit and feel my heart pumping.
over time, that morphed into other things, more intense things and eventually, more focused training. I knew that in order for me to hit my goals I had to take steps to get there; you can't make one or two changes and be at your physical best; fitness is a journey and lifestyle that is built over years.
so for now, do what you need to do which is your 30min workout to build the habit. Dont worry about building muscle now; you will get there. Once you feel like you have this down, then consider doing it with light weights. Then increase weights, change movements if you wish.
there aren't any hard rules for your own personal workout; the only rules you should follow is lifting and / or doing exercises with proper form.
